I learn how the things I'm taught will be useful for me when I leave school

Implementation
“Buying a VLE is one of the most important decisions for an institution, one that has major implications for it, and should be seen as significant as buying a major new building. The choice of VLE will be significant across all areas of the institution and especially in the way in which teaching and
learning are undertaken” Minshull, G (2004) VLEs: Beyond the fringe and into the mainstream, Coventry, BECTA

Curriculum
Mapping
An MLE should …• give priority to learning and teaching by integrating timetabling,
planning, assessment and resources;
• facilitate the sharing of pupil information between all those teaching a pupil; allow planning and assessment to be readily monitored;
• provide a single integrated view of all the data held on any given pupil;
• incorporate tools to support teachers’ and managers’ analysis of performance at fine-grained levels, and assess the effect of interventions;
• improve communication within the school and between school and home;
• facilitate opportunities for pupils to take greater responsibility for their learning; and
• be accessible from home.
Knowledge Management
“For the majority of firms in the west, the priorities are the ‘capture’ of employees’ knowledge, exploitation of
existing knowledge resources or assets, and improved
access to expertise.”
Quintas, 2002
A VLE is not an MISKnowledge, not data
The knowledge teachers use day to day
The knowledge at the core of the school’s activity
It’s not about accountability; it’s not about control, and yet...
Accommodating the “inherent complexity, sophistication and subtlety of professional
life and work in educational institutions”
Constructed within and owned by the organizations that use them
“The co-production of knowledge with
colleagues is a natural part of a teacher’s
professional work.”
OECD, 2000
Findings
Collaboration amongst staff is a crucial dimension of organizational culture if the VLE is to be used to manage shared knowledge
The introduction of a VLE alone will not be sufficient to impact learning and teaching, but embedding the VLE within the organization’s culture and practices might
